MANILA — The idea that masturbation reduces the risk of prostate cancer is not new to society nor to medical professionals.

But does it hold any truth to it?

Health and wellness expert Dr. Lulu Marquez said it is a complete misconception taken out of context from a conducted research.

"Haka-haka po 'yun. May pag-aaral kasi from Harvard noong 2016 na nagsasabing ang isang lalaki na nag-e-ejaculate 21 times or more in a month ay may 20 percent lower risk of developing prostate cancer. That's compared to those who ejaculated only 4 to 7 times monthly," Marquez said in DZMM TeleRadyo's Private Talks.

She said men can reach the 21st mark through sexual intercourse, nocturnal emissions or wet dreams, and masturbation. Ejaculation through these acts can flush out potential harmful substances in the prostate.

She added that even though she included masturbation in the list, men who only ejaculate through it may risk injuring their penis and may even permanently affect the genitals.

Marquez also clarified that achieving the 21 times of ejaculation per month may not be viable for men who do not have sexual partners but it does not mean they should rely on masturbation to care for their prostate health.

"If you masturbate, it can improve your mood through the release of endorphins. Pero huwag araw-araw kasi hindi yan substitute for medical prevention," Marquez said.
